By 1977, the financial position of the HMS Belfast Trust had become marginal, and the Imperial War Museum sought permission to merge the Trust into the museum. On 19 January 1978 the Secretary of State for Education and Science, Shirley Williams, accepted the proposal stating that HMS Belfast "is a unique demonstration of an important phase of our history and technology". [66] The ship was transferred to the museum on 1 March 1978, [64] and became the Imperial War Museum's third branch, Duxford aerodrome having been acquired in 1976. In October 1998, the HMS Belfast Association was formed to reunite former members of the ship's company. [67] The Imperial War Museum's Sound Archive also seeks to record oral history interviews with former crewmen.

Nigel Steel: “By the early morning of the 26th of December, Boxing Day, HMS Belfast and the returning convoy from the Soviet Union were lodged somewhere between the North Cape right at the north of Norway and Bear Island, and Belfast itself is then set to hunt around to see if they can find any trace of the Scharnhorst, and it's about 8.40 in the morning that a blip appears on the radar of HMS Belfast and they work out that this must be the Scharnhorst and battle is on."

She was opened to the public on Trafalgar Day, 21 October 1971. The date was significant, as Belfast was the first naval vessel to be saved for the nation since HMS Victory, Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar. [62] Though no longer part of the Royal Navy, HMS Belfast was granted a special dispensation to allow her to continue to fly the White Ensign. [63] Following the Trust's efforts, the government agreed to hand over Belfast to the Trustees in July 1971, with Vice Admiral Sir Donald Gibson as her first director. At a press conference in August the Trust announced "Operation Seahorse", [nb 4] the plan to bring Belfast to London. She was towed from Portsmouth to London via Tilbury, where she was fitted out as a museum. [60] She was towed to her berth above Tower Bridge on 15 October 1971 and settled in a huge hole that had been dredged in the river bed; then she was attached to two dolphins which guide her during the rise and fall of the tide.

Mr. Dennis suspected that more and possibly better drawings of the ship, ideally fully dimensioned shipyard construction drawings, might be in the possession of National Museums Northern Ireland: Ulster Folk Museum. A search there by the curator on Mr. Dennis' behalf did not find the better drawings we hoped might still be in existence, unfortunately. But we are very grateful for the effort.
